WiFi in China, in general, was incredibly shitty and I have been in hotels in 'the west' where I'd get 50 mbit, but I have also had crappy wifi experiences. So I think you get shitty internet in both east and west, as is to be expected when 50 or more devices try to stream Netflix at the same time on the same internet connection.

Luckily, in the EU at least, you can roam with your own 4G connection everywhere and having a 120 KB/s connection is a thing of the past.

Exactly. Of the 6 or so different resort hotels i have visited in the canary islands etc, maybe one had good wifi/internet. But since the EU rules changed, i just connected via 4G - problem solved.
in eu you can roam free but unlimited is limited, i had a unlimited connection in my country but in roaming its 10gb
It still beats paying €5/MB like in the olden days.
